Taylor Daniel Bennell

Taylor Daniel Bennell was an extraordinary human being. He was a man of integrity, courage, determination and insurmountable strength. Taylor was pure sunshine. His love tank was always full and therefore had love in abundance to give. Like the faithful fisherman who may wait for hours, days, and sometimes weeks to catch a fish, Taylor also had faith that he would succeed in life. Taylor indeed succeeded in life. His passing came when, as a Flight Instructor, his plane went down in a canyon in Arizona due to a heavy downdraft. We know that his final moments were filled with a heroic effort to save his crew. Taylor died doing what he was most passionate about in life: his life's work, becoming the best pilot he was capable of becoming. Taylor was always a bright light.

He is loved by the hundreds that he so joyfully entered into their lives. Rob his father and Marlene his mother who love him more than life itself and Shanna his sister who had boundless love for him and Ashley his dearly beloved fiancée, and his whole family will hold him dearly in their hearts forever. We were always there for him and he will always be here for us forever. Ten thousand words cannot describe the story of his presence in all of our lives.

Please join his family for a graveside service honoring Taylor's life at 1 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 29, 2012 at Grandview Cemetery, West Mountain Ave., in Fort Collins. Afterwards, friends are invited to gather and continue this day of remembrance at his parent's home.
